The 33rd Degree

Can anyone explain why in some Valleys a 33rd degree is as rare as hens teeth but in others everyone and their brother and dog is a 33rd?

It seems to me as an outsider that has been contemplating petitioning SR that there may be some politics more so in some lodges than others.

I'd say politics is definitely a part of it. At the SR Reunion where I got my 32* I saw a ton of white hats for 33rds. When my grandfather passed in a different Valley, despite there being a lot of Masons there, there were only a few.
